ROIMH-RADH. 

(PEEEACE.) 

HE  vocabulary  of  this  Dictionary  is  based  on 
rhat  of  MacLeod  and  Dewar,  so  much  ap- 
preciated by  Gaelic  students.  All  the  words 
not  appearing  in  that  work,  but  to  be  found 
in  any  of  our  other  Gaelic  Dictionaries,  are 
also  included  here,  besides  many  hundreds  of  words 
which  now  appear  in  print  for  the  lirst  time.  All  the  names 
of  Plants,  Diseases,  Birds,  &c.,  collected  from  various 
special  works  on  those  subjects,  together  with  all  the 
examples  of  proverbs,  idiomatic  phrases,  &c.,  given  by 
MacAlpine,  have  been  included,  and  many  additional  ex- 
amples have  been  added  from  Carmina  Gadelìca^  and  other 
sources. 

MacLeod  &  Dewar's  and  Armstrong's  are,  without 
doubt,  the  best  all-round  dictionaries  hitherto  available  for 
students,  especially  when  requiring  to  translate  English 
into  Gaelic.  There  are  various  small  defects  in  these 
works,  however,  which  we  have  attempted  to  rectify.  In 
the  former  work,  many  words  are  out  of  alphabetical  or- 
der, a  word  is  often  spelt  differently  in  the  two  parts  and 
even  in  the  same  part,  and  in  many  cases  words  occuring 
in  the  English-Gaelic  part  are  not  to  be  found  in  the  Gaelic 
-English  and  vice  versa.  The  last  remark  also  applies  in  a 
peculiar  degree  to  MacAlpine's  work.  The  word  darsach 
does  not  appear  at  all  in  the  Gaelic  part  of  MacLeod  & 
Dewar's,  nor  kilt  in  the  English  part  !  The  large  size  of 
Armstrong's  Dictionary  makes  it  unportable  and  awkward 
to  handle,  and  its  high  price,  like  that  of  the  Highland 
Society's,  has  always  kept  it  out  of  the  reach  of  the  bulk 
of  Gaelic  students.  It  has  now  been  out  of  print  for 
many  years. 


Should  any  word  required  not  be  found  in  its  proper 
alpliabetical  order,  reference  sliould  be  made  to  the  appen- 
dix, as  great  numbers  of  words  were;  received,  especially 
after  the  issue  of  Part  II.,  from  sources  not  available 
before  that  part  was  published. 

This  is  the  first  Dictionary  of  the  Gaelic  language 
in  which  an  attempt  has  been  made  to  explain  words  by 
means  of  diagrams,  and  the  first  in  which  especial  care  has 
been  taken  in  collecting  localisms,  the  names  of  old  High- 
land implements,  &c.,  and  their  parts,  many  of  which  are 
now  only  to  be  found  in  one  or  two  remote  parishes  of  the 
"Western  Isles,  from  which  they  are  fast  disappearing. 
The  lists  of  technical  terms  here  given  have  never  been 
published  before,  and  the  M^hole  of  the  illustrations,  with 
one  or  two  exceptions,  have  been  specially  drawn  for  the 
wwk. 

This  Dictionary  is  of  especial  value  to  the  beginner. 
]\rauy  who  did  not  learn  the  language  in  infancy,  but  ac- 
quired it  in  later  life  through  the  medium  of  books,  have 
notified  us  of  the  difficulties  of  grammar  and  idiom  they 
met  with.  Such  difficulties  are  likely  to  puzzle  other 
novices,  and  have  therefore  been  explained  under  their  ap- 
propriate headings.  Grammatical  difficulties  have  been 
elucidated  by  good  Gaelic  scholars,  and  no  labour  has 
been  spared  to  make  the  work  as  complete  and  reliable  as 
possible. 

Some  scholars  object  to  some  of  the  words  given  in 
other  Dictionaries  as  being  Irish  and  not  Scottish 
Gaelic,  but  the  difference  between  the  Irish  and  the  Soots 
is  geographical  only  and  not  racial,  as  the  records  of  both 
amply  and  abundantly  prove.  Both  call  themelves 
"  Gàidheal ''  in  their  own  language,  and  fraternize  in- 
stantly, as  soon  as  English,  the  language  of  disunion  is 
dropped.  Any  difference  between  them  is  more  imagin- 
ary than  real,  and  has  been  invented  and  assiduously  ac- 
centuated for  political  reasons  only,  on  the  old  and  barbar- 
ous plan  of  '*  Divide  and  rule.'*  Many  of  these  so-called 
Irish  words  are  in  use  in  Cantyre  and  appear  in  the  Bible, 
and  the  close  similarity  the  Gaelic  speech  of  the  West  of 


Scotland  has  to  that  of  the  North  of  Ireland  (much  closer 
than  the  native  English  of  places  not  farther  removed  from 
each  other  and  with  no  sea  between  them)  makes  the  in- 
terchange of  words  easy  and  often  convenient.  Many  of 
those  who  condemn  the  use  of  what  they  call  "Irish" 
words,  have  no  scruple  in  introducing  English  and  Broad 
Scots  words, which  they  try  to  pronounce  and  write  according 
to  Gaelic  rules,  apparently  to  make  their  identity  somewhat 
obscure,  when  there  are  already  two  or  three  native  Gaelic 
words  much  more  to  the  point.  What  would  a  French- 
man say  if  addressed  "  How  vous  portez  yourself  ?''  Yet 
that  is  no  more  absurd  than  "  an  do  ring  thu  am  bell  ?  '' 
which  may  be  heard  in  most  parts  of  Gaeldom  at  any  time  ! 

A  few  correspondents  have  found  fault  with  this  work 
as  being  too  crowded,  in  places,  with  obsolete  or  English 
words,  but  only  those  given  in  other  Dictionaries  figure 
here,  although  more  prominence  has  been  given  to  the 
character  of  Anglicisms.  Words  marked  obsolete  by  some, 
may  have  often  been  obsolete  for  a  long  period  in  the  dis- 
tricts to  which  the  compilers  of  those  particular  Dictionaries 
belonged,  while  still  used  in  other  parts  !  Further,  the 
usual  rule  hitherto  adopted  in  Gaelic  Dictionaries  with 
regard  to  English  words  in  Gaelic  dress  has  been  thus — 

clarc,  s.m.  A  clerk. 
Sometimes    Eng.  or   Eng.  word  is  added,  but  not  often. 
A  new  system  has  been  adopted  here,  and  all  such  words 
have  been  inserted  thus — 

clarc,  s.m.     Gaelic  spelling  of  clerh 

We  hope  this  will  be  the  means  of  expelling  many 
Anglicisms  from  the  language,  for  if  anyone  is  in  doubt 
whether  a  word  is  Gaelic  or  not,  he  should  refer  to  the 
Dictionary.  If  he  finds  it  is  not  a  Gaelic  word,  he 
MUST  ON  NO  ACCOUNT  USE  IT.  Such  words  are  only  in- 
serted in  the  Gaelic -English  part  as  warnings  or  danger- 
signals,  and  they  will  not  be  found  in  the  English- 
Gaelic  part.  It  cannot  be  impressed  too  strongly  on  all 
who  read  this,  never  to  introduce  a  single  English  word 
when  speaking  or  writing  Gaelic. 

We  have  much  pleasure  in  acknowledging  the  great 


kindness  shown  and  the  immense  assistance  given  by  our 
correspondents  in  all  parts  of  the  world,  not  only  by  send- 
ing lists  of  words  not  otherwise  obtainable,  but  also  by 
materially  increasing  the  sales  and  so  lightening  the  bur- 
den 01  expense  that  the  issue  of  such  a  publication  lays 
upon  our  shoulders.  We   are   especially   indebted  to 

the  following  gentlemen  for  the  unremitting  care  with 
which  they  have  perused  each  page  of  the  Dictionary  during 
its  progress  through  the  press,  for  it  has  only  been  through 
their  labours  that  the  compilation  of  such  a  correct  vocabu- 
lary of  modern  Gaelic  has  been  made  possible — William 
Cameron,  Poolewe ;  J).  Campbell,  m.a.,  ph.d.,  Grimsay ; 
Itev.  A.  Gunn,  Durness ;  A.  Henderson,  Kilchoan ;  Mai. 
MacDonaid,  8tornoway  ;  M.  Macfarlane,  Elderslie;  Dun. 
Maclsaac,  Oban ;  J.  G.  MacKay,  London ;  M.  MacLeod, 
M.A.,  Edinburgh  ;  Rev.  J.  MacRury,  Snizort ;  Rev.  Charles 
Robertson,  Inverness ;  D.  Urquhart,  m.a.,  Kyle,  Lochalsh  ; 
and  H.  Whyte,  ("Fionn,")  Glasgow. 

We  must  not  omit  our  great  obligation  to  the  Press 
both  at  home  and  abroad,  for  the  detailed  reviews  they  have 
given  of  the  parts  as  they  appeared,  and  for  their  hearty 
appreciation  of  our  labours. 

It  is  a  cause  of  regret  that  type  of  a  larger  size  could 
not  have  been  used,  but,  owing  to  the  inconvenience  that 
would  have  been  caused  by  increasing  the  bulk  of  the  book, 
this  was  found  to  be  impossible. 

The  greatest  care  has  been  taken  to  prevent  misprints, 
or  omissions,  but  if  readers  will  kindly  notify  any  they 
may  find,  the  plates  will  be  corrected  in  every  case  be- 
fore" further  copies  are  printed. 

.  No  attempt  has  been  made  to  give  a  so-called  phone- 
tic spelling  of  each  word  according  to  English  rules  as 
Mac  Alpine  does.  The  Gaelic  language  being  itself  practi- 
cally phonetic  on  its  own  lines,  by  far  the  simplest  way  is 
to  learn  the  correct  sounds  of  the  various  Gaelic  combina- 
tions from  some  good  text-book,  of  which  there  are  many, 
and  if  possible  with  the  aid  of  a  Gaelic-speaker.  The 
phonetic  range  oi  English  is  so  meagre  compared  with 
that  of  Gaelic,  as  to    make   an  explanation  of  the  exact 


sounds  of  the  latter  by  means  of  known   combinations  of 
the  former  almost  an  impossibility. 

This  Preface  is  being  issued  with  Part  X,  to  enable 
those  subscribers  who  so  desire  to  bind  together  the  parts 
already  published.

THE  COMMERCIAL  VALUE  OF  GARLIC. 


S  we  Bee  and  bear  so  frequently  such  foolish 


jn  remarks  as  "  it  does  not  pay  to  learn 
UzielJc,"  "Gaelic  is  a  hinderance  in  a  commer- 
cial career,"  and  what  is  only  a  little  less  apa- 
thetic, "  it  is  a  burden  which  is  easily  borne," 
Ac.,  we  hare  decided  to  treat  the  matter  at 
some  length,  although  some  may  object  that  a 
Dictionary  is  hardly  the  place  in  which  to  dis- 
cuss the  merits  ot  a  language. 

And  first,  it  cannot  be  too  widely  known  that 
the  speakers  of  English  only,  are  always  baulk- 
ed by  a  peculiar  di.sability  from  acquiring  for- 
eign tongues,  and  that  this  peculiar  disaoility 
has  disastrous  results  for  British  commerce. 
Before  Continental  rivals  appeared  to  dispute 
with  Britain  the  right  to  supply  the  best  mar- 
kets of  the  world,  very  little  attention  was  paid 
to  languages,  but  to-day  the  ready  ability  to 
acquire  any  language  in  a  siiort  time,  gives 
Continental  students  such  a  great  advantage, 
that  many  British  industries  can  only  be  ci>n- 
tiuued  at  all  by  employing  such  Continental 
rivals  as  clerks.  These  foreigners  having  learnt 
the  trade  secrets  of  the  Kuf^lisb,  soon  after- 
wards set  np  a  counter  trade,  and  beat  the  Eng- 
lish at  their  own  game. 

To  give  our  countrymen  technical  educa- 
tion and  the  faculty  of  easily  mastering  for- 
eign tongues  is  the  most  urgent  and  crying 
need  of  our  day. 

There  are  four  main  reasons  that  disaUIt: 
those  who  know  no  language  but  English  in 
acquiring  foreign  tongues  :— 

1.  British  insularity. 

2.  Phonetic  poverty  ot  the  English  language. 

3.  The  prominence  given  in  Britain  to  the 
study  of  dead  languages. 

4.  The  Englishman  is  accustomed  to  fail 
with  languages,  and  is  proud  of  bis  failure. 
Otber  languages  are  mere  mockery  to  him.  But 
the  mastery  of  tongues  comes  as  a  matter  of 
course  to  Germans,  8wiss,  Russians,  &c.  Eng. 
lishmen  have  not  the  opportunity  to  become  a 
bi-lingual  people  :  no  but  Scotsmen  have,  for 
one  can  obtain  constant  practice  in  speaking 
Gaelic  without  going  outside  the  country,  there 
being  hardly  a,  villase,  even  in  the  Lowlands 
where  at  least  one  Gaelic  speaker  can  not  be 
found. 

The  only  speech  that  those  who  are  restricted 
to  English  ever  hear,  is  one  that  has  a  very 
small  phonetic  range,  besides  being  distinctly 
poor  in  grammatical  development.  English 
people  pronounce  their  vowels  as  if  they  were 
diphthongs,  and  cannot  easily  see  how  thepure 
open  vowel  .sound  diflfers  from  a  diphthong. 
Tneir  language  has  no  inflections,  no  genders 
or  declension  of  adjectives,  &o.       This  ling  .is- 


tic  poverty  goes  far  to  deprive  an  Englishman 
of  the  capacity  to  take  the  very  fust  step  neces- 
sary in  language  learning.  The  tirst  stage, 
the  mechanical,  begins  with  a  thorough  mas- 
tery of  the  pronunciation  of  the  language  which 
is  being  learnt,  which,  of  course,  pre-suppo.ses  a 
practical  knowledge  of  phonetics  ba.sed  on  the 
learner's  native  language.  When  the  main 
part  of  the  language  to  be  learnt  consists  firstly, 
of  sounds  never  before  heard  by  the  learner, 
and  secondly,  what  is  infinitely  more  subtle  and 
more  difficult  to  grasp,  when  its  system  of  word- 
arrangement  has  never  before  been  dreamt  of 
by  the  learner,  how  can  such  learner  ever  suc- 
ceed ?  The  phonetic  range  of  Gaelic  is,  if  we 
except  Russian,  about  the  richest  ot  any  lan- 
guage in  the  world,  and  includes  all  the  sounds 
used  in  the  other  European  tongues.  Thu.s, 

while  one  who  can  only  speak  English  is  handi- 
capped by  the  difficulty  of  having  to  master 
numbers  of  new  sounds  in  whatever  tongue  ho 
elects  to  study,  the  speaker  of  Gaelic  anil  Eng- 
lish is  already  acquainted  with  all  these  sounds. 

Our  difficulty  with  languages  is  more  imagin- 
ary than  real.  Germans,  in  their  own  country, 
devote  years  of  dogged,  persistent  labour  to 
the  grammatical  and  oral  study  of  foreign  ton- 
gues, and  the  methods  of  instruction  in  German 
schools  are  so  superior,  that  there  is  an  incom- 
parable difference  in  the  result  of  study. 

The  art  of  learning  a  living  language  has 
been  brought  to  perftclion  on  the  Continent  by 
acquiring  the  details  in  the  following;  order- 
sounds,  speech,  language.  Speech  cannot  be 
articulated  until  the  vocal  organs  have  learned 
to  form  its  component  sounds,  language  cannot 
be  studied  to  any  practical  purpose  until  a  cer- 
tain degree  of  familiarity  lias  been  acquired 
with  it  as  a  living  tongue.  In  English  schools, 
the  first  strange  tongue  that  is  introduced  to 
the  student  is  Latin.  This,  being  a  dead  lan- 
guage, necessarily  reverses  the  proper  order  for 
learning  the  component  parts  of  a  language, 
and  makes  the  student  begin  at  the  end  instead 
of  the  beginning.  In  Germany,  all  boys  must 
first  learn  French  for  three  years,  before  they 
begin  Latin,  that  is,  they  must  acquire  the 
sense  of  mastery  over  French  as  a  convers.i- 
tional  language,  before  they  take  up  the  study 
of  a  dea<l  language  by  the  eyes,  with  texts,  dic- 
tionaries, &c.  It  is  chiefly  this  reform  that 
has  endowed  Germans  w  iili  their  linguistic  abili- 
ties. 

It  is  no  business  of  educational  authorities 
to  decide  whether  this  or  that  language  shall 
be  studied  or  not,  but  it  is  their  duty  strictly 
to  prohibit  the  study  of  any  strange  tongue  un- 
der unnatural  conditions,  as  is  now  the  rule. 
The  point  to  be  enforce<l  is,  thti  vital  impor- 
tance of  making  certain  that  the  first  time  a 


TiU 


Stndent  attempts  to  learn  any  language  other 
tbau  bis  own,  he  Hball  learn  it  by  the  rii;ht 
melbud.  If  he  have  acquired  any  liuiKuage 
by  the  right  method,  he  has  not  only  acquirud 
that  lauguagu,  but  the  faculty  of  learniug  any 
other  lant;ua<;u,  and  the  sense  of  mastery  wiUi 
which  the  knowledge  of  having  conquered  in- 
spires him.  'Iho  average  Kngli.ib-.spealcor  is 
accustomed  to  fail  with  languages,  for  unlike 
other  nations,  he  has  not  acquired  from  infancy 
the  sense  of  mastery  which  the  successful  ac- 
quirement of  a  second  spoken  language  gives. 

These  are  some  reasons  why  instruction  in 
the  Gaelic  lauguat;e  must,  yes,  must  be  encour- 
aged in  every  possible  way,  especially  where 
still  spoken,  for  to  neglect  it  is  to  dt-prive  the 
children  of  a  priceless  heritage  for  whicti  they 
pay  nothing,  (and  very  little  is  obtainable  free 
now-a-days.)  Consider  a  moment,— did  the  or- 
dinary Gaelic-and-Knglish  speaking  child  ever 
have  any  trouble  or  expense  in  attaining  these 
two  languages  V  Of  course  not.  Well  then,  he 
got  his  ailvantage  free,  and  that  this  is  an 
overwhelming  advantage  may  be  proved  thus  : 
Take  little  t«u-year-old  bi-liugual  Donald  Mac- 
Donald  from  the  Uaeldom,  and  little  ten-year- 
old  Jamie  8teeuson,  auni-liugual  from  the  Uall- 
tachd.  Which  of  them  will  learn  French  in  no 
time,  and  wbicb  of  them  will  never  do  anything 
but  boggle  at  French  ? 

The  ettect  of  the  study  of  Gaelic  upon  the  gen- 
eral intelligence  of  school  children  is  very  mark- 
ed, and  a  well-known  inspector  of  schools,  who 
has  examined  bi-lingual  children  for  thirty 
years,  declares  that  Gaelic-speaking  children 
are  much  more  intelligent  and  brighter,  and 
possess  a  better  knowledge  of  ibinglisU  than  the 
uni-Iingual  Lowland  child. 

The  late  Dowager  Lady  Mackenzie,  who  bad 
charge  of  tbeGairloch  estate  from  1843  to  1663, 
started  some  tun  schools  there  during  that  pe- 
iod,  and  it  was  the  rule  in  all  those  schools  tliat 
|io  child  was  to  learn  any  Unglisb  till  be  or  she 


could  read  the  Gaelic  Bible  fluently.  Men  and 
women  brought  up  under  that  system  M'cre  na- 
urally  far  superior  in  intelligence  and  every 
other  good  quality  to  those  crammed  by  ino<lern 
Kducaiional  Act  regulations.  The  ettect  of 
their  liaving  leurnt  bouh  languages  iutelliifeutly 
and  thoroughly  is  noticeable  even  in  their  des- 
cendants, tor  it  would  not  be  easy  to  tiud  a 
more  correct  speaker  ot  Gaelic  and  English 
than  a  person  brought  up  in  Gairloch. 

'ihe  de.spotic  way  in  wbicli  clnldren  who 
could  only  speak  Gaelic  have  been  cruiiinied 
with  a  ma.ss  of  Knglisu  by  nou  Gaelic-ape^iking 
teucliers,  to  be  forgotten  as  soon  as  luey  left 
.school,  and  their  minds  so  starved  initead  of 
nourisued,  is  simply  astounding.  Iheuiaune* 
in  which  persons  in  authority  in  the  vaiioua 
districts  have  done  their  utmost  to  po>.sun  the 
minds  of  the  people  against  the  valuo  of  their 
native  language  and  bring  it  into  contempt  with 
them,  is  what  one  woulu  expeci  in  liuksia  in- 
stead of  Scotland,  or  in  a  record  of  the  darkest 
ignorance  of  the  Middle  ages.  It  ba^,  of  course, 
been  done  to  serve  their  own  enu.t,  by  making 
it  unnecessary  for  them  to  learn  the  language, 
which  they  could  not  dispense  with  in  a  Gaelio- 
speaking  place,  so  long  as  it  held  the  tlrst  place 
in  the  esteem  of  the  natives.  The  ab>uidity  of 
the  teachings  of  such  people  has  now  been  fully 
exposeil,  and  no  Gael  w ho  has  reaihed  yeai's of 
di^cretion  would  look  with  anything  but  cuu- 
tempt  and  ridicule  an  anyone  who  would  pre- 
sume to  underrate  the  Gaelic  language. 

Any  adult  who  has  a  tlesire  to  learn  foreign 
tongues  will  hnd  it  immensely  to  his  advantage 
to  learn  Gaelic  in  the  lirst  place.  He  can  do 
this  coll(K|uially  without  any  difTiculty  in  most 
parts  of  Britain,  and  very  lew  aio  so  siluatcd  as 
not  to  be  able  to  mett  with  a  Gaelic-speaker 
at  least  two  or  three  times  a  week.

PRONUNCIATION. 


WfWHE  Gaelic  Alphabet  contains  eighteen 
i^ÌÈ^letters— a,  b,  c,  d,  e,  f ,  g,  h,  i,  I,  m,  u,  o,  p, 
r,  s,  i,  n. 

The  vowels  are  divided  into  broad  and  small. 
The  broad  are  a,  o,  and  u  ;  the  small  e,  and  i. 

The  Consonant*  are  classed  as— dentals  d,  t, 
8  ;  labials  b,  f ,  m,  p  ;  Unguals  1,  n,  r  ;  palatals 
c,|. 

H  is  the  mark  of  aspiration  and  is  never  found 
alone  in  a  word,  but  always  after  the  letters  b, 
c,  d,f,  g,  m,  p,  s,  t. 

There  are  two  accents — the  grave  and  acute. 
Either  oi  these  placed  over  a  vowel  indicates 
that  it  is  long,  and  that  it  has  a  specific  sound 
according  to  which  is  used.  The  accents  also 
serve  to  distinguish  between  words  that  are 
the  same  in  spelling  but  different  in  meaning. 

In  almost  all  polysyllables,  excepting  some 
words  compounded  with  a  preposition,  the  ac- 
cent falls  on  the  first  syllable.  The  others  are 
.shorl  and  unaccented,  and  the  vowels  in  that 
situation  have  in  general  short  obscure  sounds. 
Hence  it  happens  that  the  Towel."*  in  these 
syllables  are  so  often  used  indiscriminately. 

There  are  no  quiescent  final  vowels. 

There  are  some  sounds  in  Gaelic  to  which 
there  are  none  perfectly  similar  i'  Knglish,  and 
the  same  combinatiou  does  not  invariably  re- 
present the  same  sound  in  different  parts  of  the 
Highlands.  Thepowers  of  the  different  letters 
may  be  explained  with  a  certain  degree  of  ac- 
curacy, yet  much  will  still  remain  to  be  learned 
by  the  ear  alone.  As  this  subject  is  fully  dis- 
cussed and  explained  in  "Gaelic  as  a  Specific 
Subject"  we  must  refer  the  reader  to  that  work 
sot  fuller  information  on  account  of  our  limited 
sp?.oe  here.  The  following  remarks  are.  how- 
orer.  reproduced,  chiefly  from  "Còmhraidhean 
an  Gàidhlig  is  am  Beurla,"  by  Rev.  D.MacInnes, 
asgiTinga  good  general  Idea  of  Gaelic  pronun- 
ciation k>  those  quite  unacquainted  with  the 
language. 

Further  remarks  on  pronunciation  will  be 
founu  in  the  bcJy  of  this  work  under  the  respec- 
tive letters.

Sounds  op  thi  Thiphthonos. 
The  Triphthongs  are  aoi,  eai,  eoi.  iai,  ini,  naL 
As  the  sounds  of  the  diphthongs  depend  on 
those  of  the  dual  vowels,  so  the  sounds  of  the 
triphthongs  depend  on  those  of  the  diphthongs. 
The  rule  that  the  vowel  immediately  before  or 
immediately  after  a  plain  palatal  or  lingual 
often  loses  its  sound  holds  good  in  regard  to  the 
triphthongs.  The  vowel  in  the  triphthoag  that 
loses  its  sound  is  the  last  i.

ORTHOGRAPHY. 


The  chief  exceptions  to  the  above  mlee  fre- 
quently met  with  in  writing  are  :— 
is,  is  ;  so,  this ;   sad,  yonder ;  ged,  although ; 
and  tigh,  a  house. 

We  have  continued  the  nsnal  way  of  spelling 
is  and  ged  throughout  this  work,  but  toere  is 
an  increasing  tendency  to  xpell  "so"  s«o, 
"sud''  siod,  and  "tigh"  iaign,  so  we  bare 
adopted  these  forms  as  being  more  in  uni- 
formity with  the  spelling  of  tne  rost  of  the 
langnage.  Seo  and  siod  are  also  the  more  cor- 
rect as  representing  the  Old  Oaelie  forms  seo 
and  sittt. 

The  Orthography  generally  adopted  in  this  Dic- 
tionary IS  tnat  used  by  the  best  scholars  of 
the  present  day.

^e  above  abbreviated  remarks,  with  the 
excepion  of  those  on  pronunciation,  are  insert- 
ed hen  for  the  use  of  those  alreadjr  acquainted 
with  ihe  rudiments  of  the  Gaelic  language. 
Those  vishing  to  study  the  language  thoroughly 
from  -.he  very  commencement  should,  & 
possibU,  obtain  a  copy  of  John  Forbes'  Double 
Grammir  of  English  and  Gaelic,  which  may 
aometiaes  be  purchased  secondhand  although 
long  oui  of  print.  Stewart's  Gaelic  Grammiu- 
is  a  classical  work,  a  number  of  other  good 
grammtrs  being  based  on  it.  "Scottish  Gaelic 
as  a  Sjeciflc  subject,"  by  Malcoku  MacFar- 
lane,  is  a  mertiorious  Itttle  book,  noted  for  its 
correctnegs. 

Some  readers  may  consider  the  vocabulary 
given  in  -.he  following  pages  too  detaihid  and 
much  of  i,  superfluous,  but  one  of  the  chief  ob- 
jects kept  in  view  during  compilation  has  been 
to  include  all  words  or  forms  of  words  likely 
to  present  iifSculties  to  those  commencing  to 
study  the  Qaelic  Language.

a 


A,  ailm,  the  Elm-tree.  The  ist.  letter  of 
the  Gaelic  alphabet,  now  in  use. 
It  has  three  sounds  ;  (1)  both  long  and  short. 
Long,  like  o  in  father  as — il,  broo4,  àr, 
tlaughter.  Short,  like  a  in  fat,  cat,  as  pro- 
nounced by  a  Lowlander,  but  not  as  pronoun- 
ced  by   aji    Englishman,    as fait,  hair  ; 

cas,   foot.  (,2)    both    long    and   short, 

when  immediately  preceding  dh  and  gh  ;  in 
which  state  it  has  no  corresponding  sound  in 
Bnglish.  Long  as  adhradh,  worship,  t«agh- 
lacn,  family.  Short,  as  lagh,  law  ;  claab, 
trench.  (8)  short  and  obseur*,  like  e  in  hin- 
der, as— an,  am,  a',  tht;  ma,  (T;  na'm,  oa'n, 
it  tiu3t\  and  the  plnral  tarminations  -a, -ait,  a* 
laghanna,  lavt  ;    l>eaiintan,  mountain*.

phàisda,  of  the  child  ;  a'  ghruagach,  th4  fynuèi. 
Aspirated  F  is  preceded  by  an,  as— an/Wr,  of 
the  man ;  an  /hreaaairt,  the  answer.

tires,  as — A  dhuine  dhlomhain  I  0  vain  man  1 

»,  pott.  pron.  His,  her,  its.  After  a,  hit,  the 
aubstantiTe  is  always  aspirated,  but  after  a, 
htr,  it  is  plain. 

Amhac,  hit  ton;  %  nigheAn,  h«r  daughter.  A, 
his,  is  omitted  and  an  apostrophe  inserted  in 
its  place  before  a  word  commencing  with  a 
▼owel  or  fh,  and  before  a  consonant  when 
preceded  by  a  prep,  ending  in  a  vowel ;  as — 
fu  'mhac,  to  hit  ton  ;  'fhalt,^t>  Aatr;  'aghaidh, 
pit  CQontenanos.    lii  the  f«m,  an  h-  ii  interpo- 


sed between  a,  her,  and  the  noun,  u — a  b-eaoh 
h«r  hortf ;  a  h-enn,  her  bird.  When  the  /ft  ia 
followed  by  a  consonant,  the  pronoun  is  re- 
tained in  the  maeK.,tk% — a  fhliuiche,  Aùu'etneis. 
Cha  h'r.rrainn  iad  a  thogail  no  'fhagail,  they 
ocntld  neither  lift  nor  leave  him  (lit.— his  lift- 
ing or  leaving)  :  theab  iad  a  mharbhadh, 
they  had  almost  killed  him,  (lit.— his  kilbnjj.) 
Ih  a  nighean,  hi-  daughter,  n  is  aspirated  m 
pranunciation,  but  the  letter  h  is  not  written 
after  I,  n,  r,  in  Scottish  Gaelic.  In  some 
instoAoes  the  difference  between  the  plain 
and  aspirated  sound  of  these  letters  is  only 
to  be  detected  by  a  keea  ear,  while  in  others 
it  is  easily  distinguishable.

In  the.se  examples  air  translates  differently 
into  Kngli.sh  in  every  case,  but  the  ditferences 
are  cauried  by  the  English  verbs,  each  of 
which  requirt^s  its  own  preposition  as  a  com- 
plement. Olas.niie  these  under  the  various 
meanings  would  hide  from  the  learner  the 
fact  that  the  Gaelic  prep,  has  the  same  mean- 
ing in  each  case— adver.>iity,  adverse  circum- 
stances,misbap.disaster,  trickery  suffered, &c.

Addition. I : — 
'Nuair  a  thig  air  duine  thig  air  nile,  tlii« 
means  that  fortunes  and  misfortunea  do  not 
come  singly,  and  is  a  Gaelic  equivalent  of  it 
never  rains  but  it  pours  ;  tha  a'  mhisg  air, 
he  it  drunk;  cha'n  'eilalrach— ,  there  is  no- 
thing for  it  but—.  Chaidh  e  airchèilidh  orra, 
he  went  to  visit  them;  air  tòrradh,  at  a  funeral; 
air  banais,  at  a  wedding ;  air  a  lughad  ia 
fbeàirrd,  the  smaller  the  better;  bha  e  air  mo 
mhuin  gu'n  <fec.,  or  bha  e  air  m'aodann  gu'n 
&c.,  he  was  always  worrying  me  to  dtc,  gabh 
air,  thrash  /i  im ;  èirich'air,  belabour  him  ;  èir- 
ricb  air  an  òran,  sing  the  soiig  well ;  m6r  orm 
a^«H  beag  aftam,  very  patrouizing  to  me  and 
little  thought  o'  by  me. 

r^f  Air  ,  it  may  be  ^stated,  always  signifies 
something  of  a  very  temporary  duration. 
[Air  governs  the  Dative  case  of  nouns  follow- 
ing it.  Though  it  is  said  not  to  cause  aspira- 
tion by  rule,  there  are  many  instances  in  set 
piirases  in  which  it  does,  as,  air  dheireadh,fc^ 
hind  ;  air  thoiseach,  before ;  aircbionn,  in  rea- 
diness for,  [air  chionn  dhomh  bhi  deas,  by  the 
time  I  was  ready.]  It  may  be  observed  that 
where  it  causes  aspiration  it  cannot  be 
translated  upon,— tha  i  air  chall,  she  is  lott. 
The  reason  for  this  difference  seems  to  be 
that  air  in  Modern  Gaelic  misrepresents  the 
old  prepositions  ar  and  for.  Ar  meant 
be.fore,  against,  betide,  and  it  caused  aspi- 
ration of  the  word  following,  because  it 
formerly  ended  in  a  vowel  (are  or  ari.)  For 
meant  %qwn,  and  did  not  cause  aspiration. 
This  for  is  the  air  proper  of  Modern  Gaelic 
grammar.!}

Since  the  issue  of  Part  I.  it  has  been  decided 
to  print  this  Dictionary  on  hand-made  paper. 
The  edition  printed  op  one  side  only  will  not  be 
procaeded  with,  on  account  of  the  small  number 
of  subscribers  requiring  it.  Copies  of  the  or- 
dinary edition  can,  however,  be  obtained  inter- 
leaved with  blank  pages  by.those  who  desire  it 
at  lid.  per  part  more  than  ordinary  parts.  On 
account  of  the  change  of  paper  the  price  will  be 
fi  I.  per  part,  post  free  to  auy  address,  instead 
of  f)d.  as  originally  intended. 

Interleaved  copies  will  be  sent  to  those  who 
ordered  the  edition  printed  on  one  side 
only,  unless  we  hear  to  the  contrary,  and  a  new 
copy  of  Part  I.  will  be  forwarded  gratis  to  all 
who  have  already  paid  for  the  original  part,  to 
make  the  set  uniform  for  binding. 

La  order  to  save  our  readers  the  inconvenience 
and  expense  of  frequent  .small  remittances, 
we  would  suggest  that  they  send  us  a  Postal 
Order  for  2/2  in  advance  for  every  four  ordin- 
ary parts  required  or  2  8  for  four  interleaved

the  end  of  the  17th.  century  they  sat  in  tha 
sreath  or  circle  among  the  nobles  and  chiefs 
of  families.  They  took  the  preference  of  the 
ollamh  or  doctor  in  medicine.  After  toe  ex- 
tinction of  the  Druids,  they  wer^-  brought  in 
to  preserve  the  genealogy  of  families,  and  to 
repeat  genealogical  traditions  at  the  success'

ion  of  every  rhleftain.  They  had  great  in- 
fluence over  all  the  powerful  men  of  their 
time.  Their  persons,  their  houses,  their 
tillages,  were  sao red.  Whatever  they  asked 
■was  given  them  ;  not  always,  howpver,  out 
of  respect,  but  from  fear  of  their  satire,  whioh 
frequently  followed  a  denial  of  their  requests. 
They  lost  bv  degrees,  through  their  own  in- 
solence and  importunity,  all  the  respect 
which  their  order  had  so  long  enjoyed,  and 
consequently  all  their  wonted  profits  and 
privileges.  Martin  says  "They  shut  their 
door  and  windows  for  a  day's  time,  and  lay 
on  their  backs  in  darkness  with  a  stone  upon 
their  belly,  and  plaids  about  their  heads  and 
eyes,  and  thus  they  pumped  their  brains  for 
rhetorical  encomiums."

bards  were  held  by  them  in  tlie  highest  vene- 
ration. Princes  and  warriors  did  not  disdain 
to  claim  affinity  vtith  tiiem.  The  Celts,  being 
passionateiv  fond  of  poetry,  woul<l  listen  to 
no  instruc^io  i,  whether  from  priest  or  phil- 
osopher, iinle.ss  it  were  conveyed  in  rhymes. 
Hence  the  word  bard  meant  also  a  priest, 
philosopher,  or  teacher  of  any  kind.  We 
often  find  a  bard  entrusted  with  the  educa- 
tion of  a  prince,  and  about  three  hundred 
years  ago,  a  Highland  cliief  had  seldom  any 
other  instructor.  Such  was  the  respect  paid 
to  the  ancient  bards,  that,  according  to  Dio. 
dorus,  the  Sicilian,  they  could  put  a  stop  to 
armies  ia  the  heat  of  battle.  After  an  en- 
gagement they  raised  the  song  over  the  de- 
ceased, and  extolled  the  heroes  who  survived. 
When  a  bard  appeared  in  an  army,  it  was 
either  as  a  herald  oi  ambassador,  hence  his 
person  a}id  property  were  sHcre.l  in  the  mids6 
of  his  enemies  and  amid  their  wildest  rava- 
ges. In  earlior  times  he  never  bore  arms, 
and  Owen  asserts  rhit  it  was  unlawful  to  un- 
sheathe a  weapon  iu  his  presence.  Among 
the  ancient  British  there  were,  according  to 
Jones,  three  orders  of  bards -the  Privardd, 
(Prìomh-bUàrd)  or  chief  bard:  the  Poswardd, 
who  ta\ight  what  was  set  forth  by  the  pri- 
vardd ;  and  the  Arwyddwardd,  i.e.  the  en- 
sign bard,  or  herald-at-arras,  who  employed 
himself  in  genealogy,  and  in  blazoHÌBg  the 
arms  of  princes  and  nobles,  as  well  as  alter- 
ing them  acconling  to  their  dignit^  or  de- 
serts. Owen  observes  that  their  dress  was 
sky-blue,  an  erabiera  of  peAce. 

Among  the  Irish  Celts  the  bards  enjoyed 
many  extraordinary  privileges.  The  chief 
bard  was  called  Filidh,  or  Ollamh  ri  dan,  a 
graduate  or  doctor  in  poetry,  and  had  thirty 
raferior  bards  as  attendants,  whilst  a  bard 
of  the  second  order  had  fifteen.  The  Gael  of 
Scotland  was  not  heliind  «is  brother  Celts  in 
his  veneration  for  the  bards,  for  they  had 
lands  bestowed  on  them,  which  became  here- 
ditary in  their  families.  A  Highland  chief 
retained  two  barda,  who,  like  those  of  the 
Irish,  had  their  retinue  of  disciples  ;  and 
though  the  office  did  by  no  means  procure  the 
same  deep  respect  as  iu  times  of  old,  yet  it 
was  always  filled  to  the  utmost.  The  rea-ions' 
for  the  decline  of  their  power  will  be  found 
under  "aois-dàna."]

tween  these  flres  the  cattle  were  driron,  to 
preserve  them  from  contagion  till  next  May- 
day. On  thid  day  it  was  usual  to  oxiiuguish 
all  the  hearth  flres,  in  order  that  tliey  should 
te  ro-kindled  from  this  purifying  flame.  In 
many  parte  of  the  Highlands  the  young  folks 
of  the  district  used  to  meut  ou  the  moors  on 
Ist.  May.  They  cut  a  table  in  the  green  sod, 
of  a  rouud  figure,  l)y  cutting  a  trench  in  the 
ground  i)f  suSk-ient  drcuniferenco  to  hold  the 
whole  company.  They  then  kindled  a  Are,  and 
dressed  a  repast  of  eggs  and  milk  of  the  oon- 
sistency  of  custard.  They  kneaded  a  cake  of 
oatmeal,  which  was  toasteil  at  the  embers 
against  a  stone.  After  the  custard  was  eat- 
en, they  divided  the  cake  into  as  many  por- 
tions as  there  were  persons  in  the  company,  as 
much  alike  as  pos.sible  in  size  and  shape. 
They  daubed  one  of  the  pieces  with  charcoal 
till  it  wa.-(  black  all  over,  and  they  were  then 
all  put  into  a  bonnet  together,  and  each 
one,  blindfolded,  drew  out  a  portion.  The 
bonnet  holder  was  entitled  to  the  last  bit, 
and  whoever  drew  the  black  bit  was  the  de- 
voted person  who  was  to  be  sacrificed  to  Baal, 
whose  favour  they  meant  to  implore  in  ren- 
dering the  year  productive.  The  devoted  per- 
son was  compelled  to  leap  three  times  over 
the  flames.**

beannadiadh-bàird,  s.m.  Poet's  conjfratula- 
tion.  It  waa  the  custom  in  the  Hignlands, 
of  old,  to  meet  the  bride  coming  forth  from 
her  chamber  with  her  maidens  on  the  morn- 
ing  after  her  marriage,  and  to  salute  her 
with  a  poetical  blessing  called  beannachadh- 
bdird.—An  Gàidheal,  ii,  63.  If,  at  any  jovial 
meeting,  any  man  retired,  for  however  short 
a  time,  ne  was  obliged,  before  he  was  permit- 
ted to  resume  his  seat,  to  make  an  apology 
for  his  absence  in  rhyme.  If  he  had  no  tal- 
ent for  poetry,  or  if,  from  humour,  he  did  not 
choose  to  comply, which  was  seldom  the  case, 
he  was  obligea  to  pay  such  a  proportion  o'f 
the  reckoning  as  the  company  thought  proper 
to.propose.  This,  according  to  Martin,  was 
beannachadh-bdird.**

bho,  prep.  Another  form  of  "o"  which  is  the  bet- 
ter of  the  two.  Often  written  in  conjunction 
with  the  personal  pronouns  thus  : — 
1st. sing. bh\ia.m,  from  me,  pi.  bhuainn, /rom  us. 
tiid.  hhiiAt,  from  thee,  bhuaibh, /row  j/ou 
Srd.m.  bhuaith,  from  7iim,bhuapa,  (  m.&f.) 

/.    bhuaipe,  from  her,  from  th*m. 

The  forms  under  o  are  preferable  to  these. 
[Dr.  Gillies  says —  "The  p  of  (bhuaipe  or) 
uaipe,  now  used  for  the  fern,  form  of  the  3rd 
per.  sing,  is  both  phonetically  and  histori- 
cally wrong.  Tho  form  "uaithe"  is  fern,  in 
structure,  and  analogous  to  leithe  and  rithe, 
and  its  use  as  a  masculine  prep,  pronoun  is 
grossly  incorrect.  Uaidh  (or  bhuaidh)  is  the 
correct  modern  form  of  Old  Gaelic  uad,  from 
him."  Dr.  G.  is  literally  right,  although, 
custom  is  against  him,  and  "bhuaipe" /r(m» 
her,  being  a  firmly  established  form,  both  in 
speaking  and  writing,  it  is  never  likely  to  be 
altered  in  the  Highlands.  To  substitute 
bhuaithe  for  bhuaipe  now  would  cause  unne- 
cessary confusion,  but  bhuaidh  for  him,  could 
be  used  as  easily  as  bhuaith  or  bhuaithe. 
Were  the  Gaelic  language  taught  in  all  the 
schools  in  the  Highlands,  popular  mistakes 
like  this  would  never  get  a  hold.]  "Bho*' 
is  used  after  a  vowel  or  vowel  sound,  also 
when  it  begins  a  sentence  ;  "o"  is  used  after 
a  pronounced  consonant  according  to  choice, 
— D.M.  tt  says  "bho"  in  the  best  dialects.

greaier  or  less,  accordin-j  to  the  rank  of  the 
wearer.  That  of  the  anei jnt  kings  had  seven 
colours,  that  of  U-e  drnids  six,  and  that  of 
the  nobles  four.  In  the  days  of  Mar.,!n  the 
tartans  seemed  to  be  u.sed  to  distinguish  tlie 
inhabitants  of  different  districts,  and  not  the 
members  of  different  lamilies  as  at  present. 
He  expressly  says  that  the  iiihabitants  of  the 
variou.s  inlands'  were  not  all  dressed  alike, 
but  that  the  .serfs  and  colours  of  the  various 
tartans  varied  from  isle  to  isle.  As  he  does 
not  mention  the  use  of  a  special  pattern  by 
each  family,  it  would  appear  that  such  a  dis- 
tinction IS  a  modern  one,  and  taken  from  tha 
ancient  custom  of  a  tai-tan  for  each  district, 
the  family  or  clan  oriiriualh  most  numerous 
in  each  part  eventually  adopting  as  their  dis- 
tinctive clau  tartan  tiie  tartan  oi  such  dis- 
trict. Martin's  information  was  not  obtain-

is  tb«  original  garb  of  the  Highlanders,  and 
formed  the  chief  part  of  their  costume.  The 
hrracan  in  its  simple  form  is  now  seldom  used. 
It  consisted  of  a  plain  piece  of  tartan,  two 
yards  in  width,  and  four  or  six  in  length.  In 
dressing,  this  was  carefully  plaited  in  the 
middle,  of  a  breadth  suitable  to  the  size  of 
the  wearer,  and  sufficient  to  extend  from  one 
side  around  his  back  to  the  other,  leaving  as 
much  at  each  end  as  would  cover  the  front  of 
uie  body,  overlapping  each  other.  The  plaid 
being  thus  prepared,  was  firmly  bound  round 
the  loins  with  a  leathern  belt,  in  such  a  man- 
Oertthat  the  lower  side  fell  down  to  the  mid- 
dle of  the  knee-joint  and  then,  while  there 
were  the  foldings  behind,  the  clo^h  was  dou- 
1)le  In  front.  The  npp«r  part  was  then  fas- 
tened on  the  left  shouldec  with  a  large  brooch 
or  pin,  so  as  to  display  to  the  best  advantage 
the  t&stefulness  of  the  arranpeiiient,  the  two 
ends  being  sometimes  suffered  to  hang  down, 
but  that  on  the  right  side,  which  was  uece.ss- 
arily  the  longer,  was  more  usually  tucked 
under  the  belt. — Logan.

9S.  Cailleachag-cheann-dubh. 

eaiUeach'an  dùdain  (cont.)— 
"It  is  danced  by  a  man  and  a  woman.  The 
man  has  a  rod  in  his  right  hand,  yarionsly 
called  slachdan  drw'dheachd,  (druidic  wandi, 
and  slachdan  geasarhd,  (magic  wand.)  The 
man  and  the  woman  ge.sticulate  and  attitu- 
dinize before  one  auother,  dancing  round  and 
round,  in  and  out,  crossing  and  recrossing, 
chanping  and  exchanging  places.  The  man 
floun.shes  the  wand  over  his  own  head  and 
over  the  head  of  the  woman,  whom  he  touch- 
es with  the  wand,  and  who  fall.s  down,  as  if 
dead,  at  his  feet.  He  bemoans  his  dead 
"carlin,"  dancing  and  ge.stiouiating  round 
her  body.  He  then  lifts  up  her  left  hand, 
and  looking  into  the  palm,  breath  .s  upon  it, 
and  touches  it  with  the  wand.  Immediately 
the  limp  hand  becomes  alive,  and  moves 
from  side  to  side  and  up  and  down.  He 
rejoices  and  dances  round  the  figure  on  the 
floor.  Having  done  the  same  to  the  right 
hand,  and  to  the  left  and  right  foot  in  suc- 
cession, they  also  become  alive  and  move. 
Though  the  limbs  are  living,  the  body  is  still 
inert.  The  man  kneels  over  the  woman  and 
breathes  into  her  mouth  and  touches  her 
heart  with  the  wand.  The  woman  comes  to 
life,  and  springs  up  confronting  the  man. 
Then  the  two  dance  vigorously  and  .ioyou.sly 
as  in  the  first  part.  The  tune  varies  with 
the  varying  phases  of  th«  dance.  It  is  play- 
ed by  a  piper  or  fiddler,  or  sung  as  a  '-port-a- 
beul"  (mouth-tune)  by  a  looker-on  or  by  the 
performers  themselves.  The  air  is  quaint 
and  irregular"  and  the  words  which  are  cur- 
ious and  archaic  commence  as  follows  :  —

♦♦Merriment.  5  The  ancient  Highland  man- 
ner of  noting  classical  pipe-music  by  a  com- 
bination of  definite  syllables,  by  which 
means  the  various  tunes  could  be  the  more 
easily  recollected  by  the  learner. 
'lhro"u;.;h  the  kindness  of  Chas.  Bannatjme 
Kt^q.,  M.B.,  CM.,  Salslmreh,  Holytown,  we 
are  able  to  give  here  the  only  systematic  key 
to  thi.s  ancieiit  system  of  notation  for  "ceòl' 
mor"  ever  pulilished.  As  MacLeod  of  Gesto, 
who  jiuMished  the  M^icCrimmons'  tunes  in 
canniaireaclid.  took  them  down  phonetically, 
it  is  rather  difficult  to  describe  the  -system 
minutely.  This  must  not  be  l^st  sight  of  in 
translating  tunes.  The  complete  key  is 
here  given.  A  few  of  the  notes  resemble 
one  another  very  closely,  but  the  changes 
used  are  indicati-d,  and  the  pronunciations 
are  given  approximately,  in  bracl:ets.  The 
key  note,  "low  A"  is  always  represented  in 
this  notation  by  in,  probably  a  contraction 
of  "an  dara  aon,"  the  sefoiid  one,  to  disting- 
uish the  key  note  from  the  first  note  of  the 
chanter — "low  G."  "High  A"  is  always  i, 
but  in  a  canntaireachd  word  it  is  often 
denoted  by  a  preceding  I,  thus.  Hit,  and  so 
confusion  is  avoided.  "Low  A"  is  either  in, 
en,  em,  or  simply  n  after  some  notes.  The 
alternatives  seem  to  have  been  usea  for  the 
sake  of  euphony.  D  note  is  a  and  B  note  ia 
o,  but  the  qualifying  effect  of  the  grace  notes 
—"high  G"  represented  by  ^,  and  D  repre- 
sented by  d  or  h  (the  latter  a  contraction 
of  fa'jchorag,  the  finger  playing  D)  prevents 
any  confusion.  The  note  E  is  represented  by 
i.  At  the  beginning  of  most  of  the  MacCrim- 
mon  tunes  and  variations  is  i,  which  gives 
the  key  note.  It  stands  for  E  (soh)the  domi- 
nant of  the  "low  A"  (.doh.)  Where  it  does 
not  occur,  the  tune  will  he  found  to  start 
with  a  word  like/nVii,  which  denotes  E  with 
"high  G"  grace  note,  and  then  "low  A." 
The  vowel  for  F  note  is  iV,  and  it  also  is  al- 
ways made  certain  by  its  grace  note  d  or  h. 
"High  G"  is  «,  often  distinguished  by  a 
preceding  h.  "High  A"  is  often  vi,  to  dis» 
tinguish  it  from  E  note.  When  F  .succeeds 
"high  A"  in  a  tune,  the  word  is  often  vie, 
Regurdiug  grace  notes,  h.  the  aspirate,  qual- 
ities all  notes  down  to  "low  A,"  but  often 
where  ha  obviously  means  "B"  note,  it  must 
be  concluded  that  it  should  have  been  writ- 
ten cha.  Similarly  ho  ho  should  be  ho  cho. 
Tlie  letter  d,  is  used,  as  is  t,  to  denote  both 
"high  G"  and  D  grace  notes,  but  an  exami- 
nation of  the  notation  word,  makes  a  mis- 
take unlikely,  thus,  dieliu  means  F  ■with 
"high  G"  grace  note,  and  then  "high  A" 
and  G.  Tihi  means  two  E's  played  with  two 
G  grace  notes.  T  and  d:  rasemble  each  other 
very  closely  in  Gaelic,  but  the  context  in 
canntaireachd  makes  it  always  easy  to  see 
whether  "high  G"  grace  note'or  D  is  meant. 
It  is  necessary  to  explain  the  compound 
grace  note  systems.  Dr  is  doubling  of  "low 
G"  by  a  touch  of  D  grace  note,  drin  is  doub- 
ling of  "low  G"  by  a  touch  of  D  grace  note 
and  open  "low  A'"  and  so  on  over  the  whole 
scale.  The  letters  dr  are  obviously  a  con- 
traction of  dd  uair,  "two  times"  or  twice.

Qrace  note  formt  Uejinfa.  Grace  note  forms 
consist  of  single,  double,  and  compound. 
The  single  group  includes  all  simple  forms, 
together  with  the  "dà-lugh"  variatiou  form. 
The  double  includes  the  siniile  and  double 
typesof  "tri-lugh"  and  "oeithir-high."  Th^ 
single  type  of  tri-lugh  is  composed  of  three 
low  A's 'graced  by  G,  D,  and  È  grace  notes, 
and  it  precedes  the  note  emhellÌBhed.  An 
example  of  this  is  "hininiudo,"  the  syllable 
do  being  C  grated  by  D.  This  type  is  called 
/oe.ailte  or  open,  and  is  opposed  by  the  dou- 
ble or  clo.sed  form,  represented  by  such  a 
word  as  "hindirinto."  The  latter  is  called 
a  f  teach  or  inside,  when  opposed  to  a  type  like 
"hodorito,"  which  is  said  to  be  a  maeh  or 
outside,  as  the  grips  are  taken  from  the  note 
played.  The  types  last  named  are  also  breab- 
ach'fonas,  having  a  "kick"  note  at  the  fln 
ish.  The  crun-lugh  or  ceithir-lugh  forms- 
are  also  foi'iailte,  a  mach  and  a  tteach.  The 
word  "hiidatri"  is  a  iteach,  when  opposed 
to  "badatri,"  which  is  a  mach.  "Hiodrata- 
tirlri"  is  a  pure  "cliabh-lugh"— the  ohest  or 
creel  of  fingers,  because  every  finger  on  the 
chanter  is  engaged  in  some  way,  either  actinc 
or  acte<l  ou.  In  bagpipe  mu.iic  the  variati- 
ons are  all  named  m)m  the  acting  fingers, 
and  the  old  pipers  counted  their  tune  from 
the  number  of  fingers  engafEed  in  the  several 
parts  of  a  tune.  "Chin-drme"  may  be  ta- 
ken as  an  example  of  "leum-lugh,"  the  Jump 
of  the  fingers.  This  is  low  A  played  by  D 
grace  note,  then  G,  doubled  by  D.  low  A 
then  opened,  and  F  rapidly  opened  from  it. 
"Uiriri"  is  an  example  of  a  beat  form.   Xba

ItO.  Ca$-chrom. 
cas-chrom,  cois-ctiruim,  »./.  The  crooked  spade 
an  inipluine  t  of  tillage  pecr.liar  to  the  High- 
laniLs.  used  for  turniu){  the  ground  where  a 
plough  cannot  work  on  account  of  the  stony 
ground.  It  is  of  great  antiquity,  and  Is  des- 
cribed as  follows  by  Armstronc.  "It  is  very 
Inexpeditious  in  comparison  with  the  ploujfh, 
eight  me.i  being  uecessary  to  dig  as  much  wiiii 
it  in  one  day  a.s  a  liorso  would  plough  in  the 
same  time.  It  is  chiefly  u.sed  for  tillage,  and 
consists  of  a  crooked  piece  of  wowl,  the  low- 
er end  somewiiat  thick,  about  two-and-a-half 
feet  in  length,  pretty  straight,  and  armed  a 
the  end  with  iron  made  thin  and  square  to 
cut  the  earth.  The  upper  eudof  this  ins  ra- 
meut  is  called  the  shaft,  and  the  lower,  the 
head.  Ihe  shaft  abuva  the  crook  is  pretty 
straight,  being  six  feet  long,  and  tapering 


I casgairt 

upwards  t  >  the  end  which  is  slender.  Jnat 
below  the  crook  or  angle  there  must  be  a  bole 
wherein  a  strong  peg  must  be  fixed,  tor  the 
workman's  right  fool  in  order  to  push  the 
instrument  into  the  earth;  while  in  the  mean- 
time, standing  on  his  left  foot,  and  holding 
the  shaft  Urnily  in  both  h  inds,  when  he  has 
in  this  manner  driven  the  head  far  enough 
into  the  earth,  with  one  bend  of  his  body  D« 
rai.ses  the  clo<l  t)y  the  iron-headed  part  of  the 
instrument,  making  use  of  the  heel  or  hind 
part  of  the  heail  as  a  fulcrum.  In  so  doing, 
ne  turns  it  over  always  towards  the  left  hand 
and  then  proceeds  to  push  for  another  clod 
in  the  Sfinie  form.  To  .see  six  or  eight  men 
all  at  work  with  this  Instrument,  stand  ng 
all  on  one  leg  and  pushing  with  the  other, 
would  be  a  curious  siglit  to  a  stranger.  With 
all  its  disadvantages,  the  cas-chrom  is,  of  all 
instrumeut.s,  the  fittest  for  turning  up  the 
ground  in  the  country,  for  among  so  many 
rocks  a  plough  ciin  do  little  or  nothing,  and 
where  there  are  no  rocks,  the  earth  is  gener- 
ally so  marshv  that  cattle  are  not  atile  to 
pass  over  it  without  sinking  in  deeply."  It  is 
of  pretty  general  use  in  the  Western  Isles, 
one  man  being  able  to  turn  over  more  trround 
with  it  in  a  day  than  four  are  able  to  do  w  ith 
a  common  spade.

chionn 


cha,  negative  particle.  Not.  ICha  aspirates 
the  fut.  neg.  of  a  T«rb,  also  the  initial  of 
words  beginning  with  laliials  and  gutturals, 
and,  in  ArrryllMre,  with  dentals  also,  as — 
C^a  dhuin  amlurus,  Uie  door  will  not  »hut  ; 
cha  dhaor  a  phris,  itt  price  i$  not  high.  Cha 
simply  negativeji  the  »i>;n ideation  of  the  verb, 
as,(do)bhuail  mi,  I  utruck;  cha  do  bhiiail  mi, 
1  did  not  strike.  It  becomes  cha'n  l>efore  in- 
itial vowels  or/ pure,  as  cha'n  Ò1  mi,  /  thall 
not  drink;  cha'n  fhoseail  mi,  /  shall  not  open. 
Dr.  Gillies  remarks  that  the  h  of  cha'n  in 
cha'n  'eil,  "shows  the  abiding  influence  of  a 
lost  dental  n, — the  n  doubtless  which  re-as- 
serts itself  before  initial  vowels— it  shows 
that  it  is  wrong  to  separate  the  n  of  cha'n  as 
is  usually  done  in  writing,  as  eha'n,  cha-n 
and  cha  n-."  [N  is  not  a  dental,  and  the  n 
has  as  much  right  to  separation  as  in  gu'n 
dean.  Cha'n  is  simply  aspirated  gu'n  or  co'n, 
ndy  the  aspirating  influence  is  lost.  It  was 
■10  cha'n,  and  appears  again  in  nach.']

[The  following  remarks  by  J.G.M.  concern- 
ing the  form  of  the  verb  in  -eas  (e.g.  cluinn- 
j  eas)  should  be  borne  in  mind.  "In  thc|(iaelic 
sense  it  is  not  subjunctive.  The  proof  is 
that  cluinnear  does  duty  for  chiinn,  cluinn- 
idh  and  cluinneas  in  the  so-called  Passive. 
Thus  ma,  which  in  active  takes  -eas,  in  pass- 
ive takes  cluinnear  ;  an  and  nach,  whicli  in 
active  take  clitinn,  in  passive  take  cluimiear, 
and  the  absolute  chiinnidh  is  represented  in 
passive  by  cluinnear.  The  so-called  passive 
IS  really  an  impersonal  form  e.  g.  tillear  air 
'ais,  he  returns  home.  How  can  an  intransi- 
tive verb  have  a  passive  voice  ?  for  instance, 
coine,  one  cannot  say  /  was  coined,  yet  in 
Gaelic  we  have,  cha  tigear  as  eugmhais  na 
piobainoire,  "  cannot  be  corned  without  the 
pipes."  The  Gaelic  mind's  conception  of  the 
subjunctive  mood  certainly  does  not  cover 
the  same  ground  as  in  Enslish.  Again, 
bhatar,  people  were(not people  uere'd  or  was'd  ) 
If  cluinnear  is  passive,  so  is  bhatar."']

^vanx  Language  Society's 

rOKTUCOMING  WORK. 

The  Comiiiittee  of  the  Manx  Language  Society, 
anxious  to  encourage  the  study  of  the  Manx  language, 
and  in  view  of  thv.  fact  that  it  is  now  almost  impossible 
to  obtain  a  copy  of  either  Creegan's  or  Kelly's  Diction- 
aries, and  then  only  at  a  prohibitive  price  (from  20/- 
to  o5/-),  has  decided  to  bring  out  a  new    '  * 

EMOLISH-MANX 

DICTIONARY. 

The  works  of  both  Creegan  and  Kelly  will  be 
used  in  compiling  the  new  dictionary.  It  will  be  edi- 
ted by  Manx  scholars,  and  published  at   a  popular 

price,  5s.  to  SUBSCRIBERS, 

and  7/6  to  non-subscribers. 

Before  placing  the  work  in  the  printers'  hands,  it 
is  necessary  that  a  certain  number  of  copies  ba  subscri- 
bed for,  as  the  funds  of  the  Society  do  not  warrant  the 
undertaking  of  such  a  large  expenditure.  Tl^e  work 
is  important,  and  one  which  for  some  years  past  has 
been  proved  to  be  absolutely  necessary  for  the  sttident. 

As  the  work  is  a  national  and  patriotic  one,  all 
Manx  people  and  others  interested  in  this  branch  of 
the  Gaelic  language,  at  home  and  abroad,  should  send 
in.  their  names  as  subscribers  immediately  (with  pre- 
payment if  possible)  to  the  following  to  enable  the 
work  to  proceed  at  once.

Creeaan's  rKanx=€iigii$i)

an  excellent  work,  long  out  of  print.     The  price  is 

as.  to  suj3SORx:b£:rs, 

and  7/6  to  non-subscribers. 

Before  placing  the  work  in  the  printers'  hands,  it 
is  necessary  that  a  certain  number  of  copies  be  subscri- 
bed for,  as  the  funds  of  the  Society  do  not  warrant  the 
undertaking  of  such  a  largo. expenditure.  The  work 
is  important,  and  one  which  for  some  years  past  has 
been  proved  to  be  absolutely  necessary  for  the  student. 

As  the  work  is  a  national  and  patriotic  one,  all 
Manx  people  and  others  interested  in  this  branch  of 
the  Gaelic  language,  at  home  and  abroad,  should  send 
in  their  names  as  subscribers  immediately  (with  pre- 
payment if  possible)  to  the  following  to  enable  the 
work  to  proceed  at  once.

[The    Voice  of  the  YearJ] 

This  high -class  Quarterly  Review,  founded  in 
February,  lUUi,  has  already  achieved  an  astonishing 
measure  of  success.  If  contains  over  100  pp.  of 
text,  is  beautifully  printed  and  got  up,  and  is  brill- 
iantly written*  one  half  being  in  Guclio  and  tlie 
other  half  in  English.  The  best  writers  in  Gaelic 
and  English  are  employed  on  its  staff,  and  the 
literary  status  of  the  magazine  is  as  high  as  that  of 
the  great  English  quarterlies.  Professor  Khys,  of 
Oxford  University,  writing  in  the  Manchester  Guar- 
dian, says  that  GuTU  na  JIliadhna  is  "as  s^/w??//  " 
as  a  glass  of  Highland  stingo  on  Ben  Mac  b 
The  rest  of  the  press  of  8(;(>tland,  Ireland,  and 
England  has  passed  an  equally  ilattering  verdict  on 
this  review.  Gum  na  I)i,iAnnNA  circulates  all 
over  Scotland,  and  is  widely  r(^a<l  in  Ireland,  England,

crann-nan-gad,  «.  m.  Kind  of  plough,  seldom 
used  now, though  at  one  time  common  enougn, 
especially  in  the  Western  Isles.  The  parish 
of  Barvas  is  the  only  part  of  Lewis  where  it 
is  still  used.  It  is  usually  drawn  by  one 
horse,  though  two  can  be  used.  From  its 
construclioD  it  is  especially  suited  to  the 
stony  ground  of  the  crofts,  and  its  gradual 
disappearance  is  a  cause  of  great  regret,  as 
there  is  no  other  implement,  equally  conve- 
nient to  take  its  place.  It  posse.<ises  a  great 
advanttbge  over  the  common  iron  plough,  in 
that,  a.s  the  point  runs  along  the  grouiul  be- 
hind the  horse,  it  serves  the  two-fold  pur- 
pose of  keeping  the  plough  Kteady,  and  when 
the  share  coraes  in  contact  ,with  a  stone,  by 
lifting  the  handle,  or  làmh-clirann  upwards 
like  a  lever,  the  sliare  and  sock  can  be  lifted 
clear  of  the  obstruction.  The  ploughman 
uses  only  one  hand,  and  walks  on  the  left 
side  of  the  implement,  instead  of  behind,  as 
is  now  usual  in  ploughing.

creideamb-a'-bhata-bhuidhe,  s.m.  The  religion 
of  the  yellow  .stick.  A  Coll  priest  of  former 
times  was  accn.storaed  to  drive  recalcitrant 
natives  to  church  by  a  smart,  applicition  of 
his  walking  stick,  those  who  yielded  were 
thus  said  to  come  under  "  creideamh  a'  hhaia 
bhuidhe."  Another  version  says  Hector,  son 
of  Donald  Maclean,  of  Coll,  was  the  one  who 
applied  the  yellow  stick.  Hector  was  laird  in 
1715,  and  as  the  religion  of  the  yellow  stick 
was  introduced  into  Kum  in  172fi,  it  is  beyond 
dispute  that  Hector  was  the  author,  or  pro- 
pai^ator,  of  it.  He  wa.s  diynitied  in  apiear- 
ance  and  siern  in  manners  and  could  nu  duubt

I> 


dair  (darach,  oak)  the  fourth  letter  of  the  Gael- 
ic alphabet  now  in  use.  The  letters  d  and  « 
at  the  commencement  of  a  word  of  tun  give  it 
opposite  meanings,  as,  daor,  dear  ;  saor, 
cheap. 

D  has  various  sounds  ;  (1)  J?road— more 
dental,  e.g.  more  explosive  than  in  Knglish, 
aud  with  the  tip  of  the  tongue  right  up  to  the 
teeth,  OS  in  dan,  a  sonn  ;  duiue,  a  nuin;  dlagh, 
a  handful.  (2)  .Sinall  like  g  in  genius,  when 
flanked  l)y  a  small  rowel  (e,  or  i,)  that  is  when 
small  vowels  are  the  nearest  to  it,  as,  faide, 
length;  còaird,  a  trade,  (3)  I)  after  ch  sounds 
like  fc  in  Knglish,  thus  lochd  is  pronounoetl 
iochk,  the  combination  chd  is  thus  the  exact 
equivalent  of  tlnal  or  medial  c.  (Boc,  o  bvck, 
anil  bochd,  poor,  sound  exactly  the  same.) 
(4)  l)b,  when  broad,  is  very  soft  and  resembles 
a  soft  Riipclisb  (/.  Thus,  MacDlionnachaidh, 
a  sonoj  Ouiican.  usually  Kiiylisbed  as  Robert- 
son, has  also  crept  into  Kngli-^li  ;is  .MacCon-

thus,  OiUi  has  practically  the  f^ 
as  in  Locli  Odha,  the  best  Entli 
tion  of  which  is  Lochow.       Odi; 
is  well  known  in  Lowland  ScoLs  as'jt    i 
d*a^  ;odhar,   dv.n-coiottred  ;  modh, /" 
crodh,  cattle;  are  practically  pronounc  ■ 
ohr,  mow  and  crow.  In  Sky,  however,  in  ^ouuj 
wonbi,  as,  HiHlbol,  tiodlia,  the  odA  gets  it.s  full 
value.        Adb    when  rae<lial,  as  in  adiiarc,  a 
horn  ;   cladhach,  digging  ;  sounds  as   though 
the  .speaker  checked  or  interrupte<l  his  lin-atli 
ing,  besides  wliich,  the  Hrst  a  is  sounded  like 
ao.  (5)  i)b,  when  narrow,  sounds  like  Kiiglisb 
J/,  as,  dlieth,  of  him;  dbi,  of  her,  (pron.  yea, 
ye.)    When  final,  as,  in  buailidh,  shali  strike; 
fàidh,  o  prophet  ;  agbaidh,  /ace  ;  it  has  the 
•same  y  sound,  except  ini'tj/?,  MiUl,  and  some 
other  parts,  where  a  final  idÀ  is  pronounced 
almost  as  if  written  ich.      Dh  followeil   by  I, 
or  r,  has  no  .similar  sound  to  tliem  in  ivug 
lish.    The  nearest  approach   to  explaiiiing  it 
is  to  say  that  it  is  much  softer  than  the  soft 
est  Knglisli  17,  as  in,  a  dlilighe,  hi*  right  ; 
dhriii'lh,  (lid  per^trate,  did  imprens. 

In  Old  (iaelic  the  article  .sometimes  ended 
in  d.  In  Skye  that  d  of  the  article  has  some- 
times been  retained  before  fh,  as,  an  d 
fhàidhe,  of  the  prophet  ;  and  sometimes  tlio  d 
is  absent,  as,  an  fliir,  o/  the  man.  This  d 
appears  with  great  irregularity  in  conncclion 
with  feminine  nouns,  as,  an  d-flu)is,  f/'-  .-.-«' 
an  d-fhairge,  the  sea.  Traces  of  d  b 
itial  vowels  as  in  the  old  language,  al-' 

as,  ceann  and-aigb,  the  heifer's  head  ;    „ 

air  an  dsilhar,  clouds  on  i/w  sky.  Kèile,  kill, 
in  .skye  has  twin.  sing,  an  t-(5ile,  gen.  <!•  dcU. 
an  d-fheile.  "  Dobhran  donn  and  sruth  "  i? 
another  example.  We  do  not  know  the  pre 
ci.se  circumstances  under  which  this  d  of  the 
article  appears. 

The  n  of  cha'n  freriuentlv  becomes  d  before 
verbs  beginning  with  t,  especially  irit;;ul;ii 
ones,  thus,  cha  d'thoir,  cha  d'thii;,  clia  d'liid, 
which  are  usually  thus  spelt,  should  bt;  cha 
dtoir,  cha  dtig,  cha  dteid.  This  is  called  the 
eclipsis  of  t.  I)  can  also  suffer  eclip>is,  as,  a 
db'  aindeoin,  in  spite  of.  (pron.  a  ^anyon.) 
Nan  danih  is  pronounced  nan  amh  in  many 
parts  of  the  North,  is  eudar  dbomh,  /  tuiMt, 
IS  also  sometimes  contracted  it  rudar  'otnh.

da,  a.  Two,  In  counting  in  Gaelic,  for  1,  2,  3, 
&c.,  it  is  usual  to  say,  a  h-aon,  a  dhà,  a  tri, 
«tc.  [Da  aspirates  a  noun  following,  as,  da 
dhuine,  two  men  ;  lià  thaigh,  two  houses  ;  da 
shaighdear,  two  goldiem.  Da  governs  a  noun 
following  it  in  the  dat.  siivj.  and  the  adjec- 
tive qualifying  tliat  noun  in  the  n.  sing.  fern. 
The  dlitive  so-called  is  really  the  accusative 
of  the  old  dual  number  in  such  an  express- 
ion as,  chuunaic  mi  i(à  chloich,  1  saw  two 
siones,  and  da  properly  speaking  has  no  go- 
yeruing  influence.  The  nom.  dual  fern,  was 
like  the  dative  singular,  and  the  genitive  dual 
was  like  the  genitive  singular.  For  all 
practical  modern  purposes,  however,  it  will 
be  easiest  for  beginners  to  follow  the  rule  as 
u.>!ually  expressed,  and  put  a  noun  following 
da  in  the  dat.  sing.,  and  its  qualifying  adjec- 
tive in  the  uoni.  sing.  fem.  Da  mhnaoi  (better 
dithis  bhan)  two  women  ;  da  sheachdain,  two

men  and  a  piper  (here  deug  is  an  adj.  to  fear);

dabhach,  -aich,  pi.  itabhcha  &  -aichean,  s.f.  Vat, 
mashing  vat.  2  Large  tub.  3  District  of  a 
country,  lot,  portion  of  land  or  farm  to  carry 
60  cows  or  head  of  cattle,  davoch.  MacBain 
gives  "  either  one  or  four  ploughgates,  ac- 
cording to  locality  and  land."  [A  plough- 
gate  contains  100  Scots  acres.]  Watson  in 
The  I'lac  Names  of  Aois  <fc  Cromarty,  says 
"usually  four  plougdgates."  Skene  in  Celtic 
Scotland,  says,  '  •  In  the  eastern  district  there 


is  a  uniform  system  of  land  denomination  con- 
sisting of  dabhachs,  ploughgates  and  oxgangs, 
each  dabhach  consisting  of  four  ploughgates, 
and  each  ploughgate  containing  eight  oxgangs. 
As  soon  as  we  cross  the  great  chain  of  moun- 
tains separating  the  eastern  from  the  west- 
ern waters,  we  end  a  different  system  equally 
uniform.  The  ploughgates  and  oxgangs  dis- 
appear, and  in  their  place  we  And  dabhachs, 
and  pennylands.  The  portion  of  land  term- 
ed a  dabhach,  is  here  also  called  a  tirung,  or 
ounce-land,  and  each  dabhach  contains  20 
pennylands."  Prof.  MacKinnon  in  I'law  and 
Personal  Sa-nxes  of  Argyll,  says  "  in  Pictlaud 
the  unit  of  land  measure  was  the  dabhach,  a 
word  wliich  properly  denotes  a  liquid  mea- 
sure. An  old  farmer  in  Western  Gaeldoni  fre- 
quently speaks  of  his  fields,  not  as  containing 
so  niany  acres  of  land,  but  as  "  the  sowiug  of 
so  many  bolls  of  oats,"  "the  bed  of  so  many 
barrels  of  potatoes, "  &c.  Accordingly,  from 
a  measure  of  capacity,  dabhach  came  early 
to  be  used  as  a  measure  of  land  surface,  iu 
Gaeldom,  whtre  the  arable  land  is  scant  and 
scattered,  the  variations  in  the  acreage  of  par- 
ticular dabhachs  or  ounces  must  have  been 
very  great,  still  the  extent  of  land  represented 
by  these  terms  seems  to  have  been,  as  a  rule, 
about  104  Scots  acres,  or  120  English  acres. 
4*  Huge  woman.  A  legend  says  that  "an 
Dabhach  "  was  the  name  of  Ossian's  wife. 
She  was  big,  burly,  and  fat  (mor,  màsach, 
agus  mèith.)  ^^'hen  he  was  old  and  blind 
they  fell  out,  he  threw  a  deer's  shin-bone  at 
her  and  missed  her,  hence  the  saying,  urchar 
an  doill  mu  'n  dabhaich,  a  throw  or  blow  at 
a  venture  ;  a.  fiona,  a  wine-press.

and  7/6  to  non-subscribers. 

Before  placing  the  work  in  the  printers'  hands,  it 
is  necessary  that  a  certain  number  of  copies  be  subscri- 
bed for,  as  the  funds  of  the  Society  do  not  warrant  the 
undertaking  of  such  a  large  expenditure.  The  work 
is  important,  and  one  which  for  some  years  past  has 
been  proved  to  be  absolutely  necessary  for  the  student. 

As  the  work  is  a  national  and  patriotic  one,  all 
Manx  people  and  others  interested  in  this  branch  of 
the  Gaelic  language,  at  home  and  abroad,  should  send 
in  their  names  as  subscribers  immediately  (with  pre- 
payment if  possible)  to  the  following  to  enable  the 
work  to  proceed  at  once.

[The    Voice  of  the  Year.'] 

This  high-class  Quarterly  Eeview,  founded  in 
February,  1904,  has  already  achieved  an  astonishing 
measure  of  success.  If  contains  over  100  pp.  of 
text,  is  beautifully  printed  and  got  up,  and  is  brill- 
iantly written,  one  half  being  in  Gaelic  and  the 
other  half  in  English.  The  best  writers  in  Gaelic 
and  English  are  employed  on  its  staff,  and  the 
literary  status  of  the  magazine  is  as  high  as  that  of 
the  great  English  quarterlies.  Professor  Ehys,  of 
Oxford  University,  writing  in  the  Manchester  Guar- 
diauy  says  that  Guth  na  Bliadhna  is  "as  stimulating 
as  a  glass  of  Highland  stingo  on  Ben  Mac  Dhui.^' 
The  rest  of  the  press  of  Scotland,  Ireland,  and 
England  has  passed  an  equally  flattering  verdict  on 
this  review.  Guth  na  Bliadhna  circulates  all 
over  Scotland,  and  is  widely  read  in  Ireland,  England, 
Canada,  Australia,  New  Zealand,  and  South  Africa. 
It  has  also  a  large  number  of  subscribers  on  the 
Continent  of  Europe. 

Annual  Subscription  :  6/-  Post  free. 

Single  copies,  1/-  per  copy,  post  free  1/2.  A  special

In  the  present  extensive  development  in  all  matters  connected  with  the 
Gaelic  language,  the  complaint  is  frequently  to  be  heard,  and  not  without 
reason,  that  there  is  a  great  lack  of 

Xhe  Pul>lica.tio]:x  of 

CHEAP  GAELIC  LITERATURE. 

To  remove  this  reproach  has  always  been  one  of  our  keenest  desires, 
and  at  last  we  are  glad  to  be  able  to  say  that  a 

Gommencement  is  being  made, 

and  that  it  depends  entirely  on  the  Gael  themselves  if   the  issue  of  such   lit- 
erature is  confined  to  one  book  only  or  whether  there  will  be  published 

AN  EXTENSIVE  SERIES. 

We  are  about  to  publish  the  first  twopenny  booklet  of  Gaelic  Tales,  the 
first  of  a  series,  which  we  trust,  will  extend  to  man)'  hundreds,  and  if  the 
Gael  at  home  and  abroad  make  it  clear  that  they  really  want  the  cheap  pub- 
lication of  Gaelic  books,  they  will  find  that  we  shall  not  be  backward  in 
catering  to  their    wants.

tir  agad  !  what  an  extraordinary  horse  you 
have  ! 

de,  prep.  Of,  off.  According  to  MacBain,  the 
peculiar  custom  of  confusing  this  word  with 
do,  to,  in  speaking  Gaelic,  extends  back  to 
Old  Irish  in  pre-accentual  de  compounds,  but 
the  erroneous  practice  has  no  doubt  largely 
been  increased  by  the  publishers  of  the  Gaelic 
Scriptures,  the  instances  of  the  use  of  do,  in- 
stead of  de  making  the  meaning  of  the  text 
in  Gaelic  just  the  opposite  of  what  the  origi- 
nal conveys.  It  is  strange  how  tenacious 
some  Gaelic  writers  are  of  the  pernicious 
custom  of  using  do  for  both  de  and  do,  while 
it  is  quite  plain  that  the  meaning  of  one  is 
just  the  opposite  of  the  other.  It  is  no  excuse 
to  say  that  it  is  often  spoken  so  (in  some 
places  de  is  practically  obsolete)  for  it  is 
the  duty  of  scholars  and  those  wlio  write  or 
speak  Gaelic,  to  do  so  correctly,  and  so  help 
to  correct  popular  errors  instead  of  perpet- 
uating them.  This  is  only  one  case  among 
many,  where  any  unprejudiced  person  can 
see  the  absolute  necessity  of  Gaelic  being 
taught  in  every  school,  at  least  in  Gaelic- 
speaking  districts,  to  prevent  its  becoming  a 
mixture  of  exceptions  like  English.

above  examples,  the  result  is  mere  nonsen.se.

in  Uist  as  "  deilbh  ird,"  and  the  term  drilhh 
(dealbh)  is  seldom  u.sed    in    this  conii' r".oTi

original,  and  still  usual  manner,  of  w  ' 
the  thread  is  by   fixing  the  fiiainlean  in  i;.o

coiistructed  and  rawed  up  against  the  wall, 
it  received  the  name  oi  "  deilbh  ard."

"iNKiN.,"  a  dheanamh,  to  do.  [properly  t(t 
doing.  There  is  no  Infinitive  in  Gaelic,  but 
uni'urtunately  the  Gaelic  Verbal  Noun  fre- 
quently apiwars  in  places  where  in  KngUsb 
infinitives  would  be  used.  A  true  infinitive 
cannot  govern  the  genitive  case.  A  participle 
is  a  noun,  and  therefore  governs  the  genitive 
case,  an  infinitive  is  a  verb,  and  therefore 
cannot  govern  a  noun  in  the  genitive.  When 
one  sees  a  thing  called  "  an  infinitive  "  gov- 
erning something  in  the  genitive,  it  may  be 
concluded  that  it  is  a  noun,  not  a  verb,  and, 
consequently,  not  an  infinitive.  Bonnach  a 
mhealladh  na  cloinne,  is  a  bannock  for  de- 
ceiving of  (NOT  to  deceive)  the  children  ;  bo 
mhath  leis  an  rlgh  Pàdruig  a  theachd,  is 
translated,  the  king  wished  Fat  to  come,  where- 
as what  is  meant  is,  the  king  wished  Pat  to 
coming.  That  teachd=coiuing  and  not  come. 
This  appears  from  the  following,  which  oc- 
curs in  ifocTW/a.  "  Bu  mhath  leam  iad  a  db' 
fhàgail  nan  each,"  I  wish  them  to  leave  (to 
leaving)  of  the  horses.  Now,  nan  each  ia  in- 
contestably  a  genitive  case,  therefore  it  must 
have  been  governed  by  a  noun,  not  by  a  verb. 
The  Latin  amare  was  an  infinitive,  so  it  could 
not  govern  a  genitive, but  amatutn  was  a  noun 
and  declinable  like  a  noun.  So  was  the  ohl 
Celtic  gerund,  or  verbal  noun,  equally  declin- 
able, and  many  of  them  showed  a  dative  case 
after  the  preposition  do.  Cuir  in  the  dative, 
is,  to  this  day,  cur,  which  is  its  dative.  But 
further,  what  about  "  bu  mhath  leam  iad 
dha  m'  fhàgail,"  (some  write  "  ga  m'  fhàg- 
ail ")  ?  It  fàgail  eq\xa.la  in  this  case  an  infini- 
tive, i.  e.  if  it  is  to  be  translated  to  come,  we 
shall  have  my  to  come.  In  other  words,  be- 
cause fàgail  is  qualified  by  a  possessive  pro- 
noun, or  by  a  possessive  adjective,  we  aee 
that  it  is  a  noun,  not  a  verb.  My  coming,  my 
leaving,  are  possible,  my  to  come,  my  to  leave, 
are  inconceivable.  As  every  one  of  ihe  so- 
called  infinitives  can  (1)  take  a  possessive  ad- 
jective, and  can  (2)  govern  a  noun  in  the  geni- 
tive, the  conclusion  is  that  these  "infinitives" 
are  all  nouns  and  not  verbs,]

Passive  Voice —  [properly  a  Graphic 

or  Historic  voice,  not  "  Passive."  No  in- 
transitive verb  can  have  a  passive  voice,  but 
all  intransitive  verbs  in  Gaelic  have  an  im* 
personal  or  graphic  form.  Ohualas  a  bhi  'fos- 
gladh  an  doruis,  /  heard  (people)  opening  the 
door;  dh'iarr  a'  mhuir  a  bhi  'ga  taghal,  the  sea 
wished  people  to  resort  to  her.  _  Here  "  a  bbi 
aig  "  seems  to  include  a  subject  (people.) 
However,  this  is  not  revelant,  see  MacTaUa, 
vi.  p.  50  "  Deanar  caol-direach  air  an  aite," 
(they)  made  strair/htfor  the  place.  "Deiinar" 
IS  an  intransitive  verb,  like  "  go."  Translate 
it  for  a  moment  as  "go."  If  it  be  passive, 
then  the  sentence  means  (they)  are  go-ed  (or 
went-ed)  straight  &c.  Again,  cha  Ugear  as 
ouginhais  na  pioba,  (people)  cannot  get  on  with- 
out the  bagpipe — "  ti>>ear  "  is  patssive,  then  the 
sentence  means  without  the  bagpipe  it  will  not 
be  oomM.  Tachrar  maighdoau  Kilean-an-èis,i

e  d.  dboinhs'  agad,  revi/nnber  that  there  is  a

it  ready /or  me.  Prosperous  course,  turning 
Iromeast  to  west  in  the  direction  taken  by  the 
sun.  D.  air  gach  ni,  the  sumcard  course  (is  the 
best)  for  everything.  This  is  descriptive  of  the 
••ereinony  observed  by  the  Druids,  of  walking 
round  their  temples,  by  the  south,  in  the 
cijurso  of  their  divinations,  keeping  the  tem- 
ple always  on  their  riuht.  This  course  was 
ileemjd  prosperous,  the  contrary  (tuathal) 
filial,  or  at  least,  unpropitious.  From 
tins  ancient  surc-rstition  are  derived  seve- 
rai  customs  winch  are  still  retained  a- 
inon^st  ns,  as  drinking  over  the  left  thumb,  as 
Toland  expresses  it,  or  according  to  the  course 
of  the  sun.  Martin  s.iys,"  some  of  the  poorer 
sort  of  people  in  the  Western  Isles  retain  the 
cu^sKOm  of  performing  the-se  circles  sunwise 
about  the  persons  ot  their  benefactors  three 
times,  when  they  bless  them,  and  wish  goo<l 
cuccess  to  all  their  entvrprises.        Some  arf 


very  direful,  when  they  set  out  to  sea,  that 
the  boat  be  first  rowed  sunwÌHe.and  if  this  be 
ni-ylMC  ed,  tiiey  are  afraid  their  voyage  m:vy 
pruv  •  unfortunate.  1  had  this  ceremony  paid 
me  uheii  in  I.-iluy  by  a  poor  woman,  alter  I 
bad  f:iven  her  an  alms.  1  desired  her  to  let 
aijnc  that  compliment,  for  that  I  di<l  not  care 
for  ic  ;  but  she  insisted  to  make  these  three 
ordinary  turns,  and  then  prayed  that  God 
un>l  .MacCnarmaig,  the  patron  sitint  of  that 
IS. and,  miaht  bless  and  pro.sper  me  in  all  my 
aliairs.  When  a  Gael  goes  to  drink  out  of  a 
consecrate*!  fountain,  he  approaches  it  by 
going  round  the  place  from  east  to  west,  and 
at  funerals,  the  procession  observes  the  same 
direction  in  drawing  near  the  grave.  Hence 
al.so  is  derived  the  old  custom  of  describing 
sunwise  a  circle,  with  a  burning  brand,  about 
houses,  cattle,  corn  and  corn-fields,  to  prevent 
their  being  burnt,  or  in  any  way  injured  by 
evil  spirits,  or  by  witchcraft.  ITiis  hery  cir- 
cle was  also  made  around  women,  as  soon  as 
possible  after  parturition,  and  also  around 
newly-born  babes  These  circles  were,  in  later 
tii..e.-.,  Ueseribrd  by  midwives,  and  were  deem- 
ed effectual  against  the  intrusion  of  the  daoine 
gilA  or  Alhich'-an,  who  were  particularly  on 
the  alert  in  times  of  childbed,  and  not  infre- 
quently carried  infants  away,  according  to 
vulgar  legends,  and  restored  them  afterwards, 
but  sadly  altered  in  features  and  in  personal 
appearance.  Infants  stolen  by  fairies  are 
said  to  have  voracious  appetites,  constantly 
craving  for  food.  In  this  case  it  was  usual 
for  those  who  believed  that  their  children 
had  been  taken  away,  to  dig  a  grave  in  the 
tielils  on  quarter-day  and  there  to  lay  the  fairy 
skeleton  till  next  morning,  at  which  time  the 
parents  went  to  the  place,  where  they  doubt- 
ed not  to  find  their  own  child  in  place  of  the 
skeleton.  "

\_The    Voice  of  the  Year.^ 

This  hi£:li-class  Quarterly  Review,  founded  in 
February,  19U4,  has  already  achieved  an  astonishing 
measure  of  success^  If  contains  over  100  pp.  of 
text,  is  beautifully  printed  and  got  up,  and  is  brill- 
iantly written,  one  half  being  in  Gaelic  and  the 
other  half  in  English.  The  best  writers  in  Gaelic 
and  English  are  employed  on  its  staff,  and  the 
literary  status  of  the  magazine  is  as  high  as  that  of 
the  great  English  quarterlies.  Professor  Ehys,  of 
Oxford  University,  writing  in  the  Manchester  Guar- 
dian, says  that  GuTH  na  \^\AkJ)YmK  i% '•^as  stimulating 
as  a  glass  of  Highland  stingo  on  Ben  Mac  Dhuif 
The  rest  of  the  press'  of  Scotland,  Ireland,  and 
England  has  passed  an  equally  flattering  verdict  on 
this  review.  Guth  na  Dltadhxa  circulates  all 
over  Scotland,  and  is  widely  read  in  Ireland,  England, 
(Janada,  Australia,  New  Zealand,  and  South  Africa. 
It  has  also  a  large  number  of  subscribers  on  the 
Continent  of  Europe.
